Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC- FutureB+
A solid, sensible weekend for the Patriots: B-.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Patriots would have aced it. Drew Kendall at pick 238 is 54 spots clear of where he belonged. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

The Horton value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
Abdul Carter at slot 4 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick38 Rnd2 Benjamin Morrison
Benjamin Morrison in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick77 Rnd3 Cameron Williams
Value with a capital V on Cameron Williams in pick No. 77, a genuine coup. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick106 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at pick 106 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick144 Rnd5 Tory Horton
Tory Horton in No. 144 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick217 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
A tidy little value on Kyle Monangai in Round 7, Pick 1, a step better than break-even. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick220 Rnd7 Antwane Wells Jr.
Antwane Wells Jr. in the 220th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick238 Rnd7 Drew Kendall
A real head-scratcher, Drew Kendall in pick 238 is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
